SimpleGold

SimpleGold creates a small, movable window showing your current money.
This new version also shows a tooltip with a gold summary for all of your characters.

Shift-clicking on the window will cycle through different background colors/transparencies.

Mousing over the window will display a tooltip with the gold for each character you have on this realm, as well as the total for all the characters.
* Note * You must log into each character at least once to have it's gold registered with the addon.

Why would you want this?
You just want to keep an eye on your gold!
Perhaps you want to modify your interface - this provides a nice little money panel.

Why did _I_ make this?
Because I built a nice UI using other addons, but I wanted a little money display. Now I have one!

Commands:
/simplegold to bring up more information.
/simplegold show - shows the window.
/simplegold hide - hides the window.
/simplegold lock - locks the window and prevents dragging.
/simplegold unlock - unlocks the window and allows dragging.
/simplegold delete {Character Name} - removes the named character from the list (useful after deleting or transferring a character.)

I'm very happy to see that this has been updated for 5.0.4 / MoP! It's one of those very subtle things that I only realize how often I'm using (checking on the screen) when I don't have it installed! (was on vacation at a friend's house over Patch Day and didn't feel I could pull addons to her setup... )

I hope this is the correct place to post bugs. If I was blind enough to miss a mention of it on the front page for this addon, my apologies.

I dl'ed and installed it, and logged in with a toon. No problem. Logged in with a second toon... no problem. The third and later toons (so far a total of 5, for 3 instances of the bug. The first toon that got the bug, the simplegold window still showed up in the middle of the screen and I could move it and such. The third and fourth it did not show up. When I did /simplegold show, it appeared, but blank, and the hovertext showed the alts that had successfully logged in with it, and not the ones that broke it. (and yes, I had money on the toon.) At some later point, I noticed it had numbers on it; it might have responded to me sending some mail, I don't know.

(ok, there used to be a formatting option called 'code' that would make a sub-screen with a scrollbar so the list of addons wouldn't spam the world. All I can find now is something referencing 'lua', so I'm going to spam, my apologies.)

... and still coming back into WoW after installing it. Whether or not I keep using it, I want to thank you for making a standalone-type addon to do something small and simple. I've got a pile of addons, and yes, I know I'm "slowly but surely changing my UI", but I don't want big changes (at least, not yet) and when I asked about something to keep track of gold I was giving 2 answers of "Here, use this different UI!"

The only thing I can think of to ask for right now is an option to have it only display the currently-logged-in alt. Because yes, I have a bunch, but I don't need to know how much money I have on all of them on all of them (yes, doubled phrasing deliberately), especially the cross-faction ones. I can see where this would make it start to get complex and clumsy, and possibly want something in the Game Menu > Interface > Addons thing for config, and I can totally appreciate not wanting to deal with that. (even tho I know I'm going to forget the commands and have to remember to come back here for them )

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

PS: Would it be feasible to have the length of the 'window' adjust to the length of the string? Right now, I have it over my bags, just to the left of the bagspace number - so that the space between the silver and the copper falls across one of the lines between the bag pictures in the interface (not sure if that's clear) and the window is extending to just-over-the-line to the game-menu button - completely obscuring the lower half of the ? on the bar. I suppose that, if it's locked, could it allow clickthrough?
